Burnley might have been relegated from the Premier League last season but they head into their first Championship campaign in six years with something of a buzz around the club. Burnley look to have the capabilities to mount a promotion push but yet if they finished mid-table it wouldn't be completely surprising. The Clarets have had a summer of change with 11 senior departures and nine new arrivals. The transfer window being open for another month means there is plenty that can change in the next few weeks alone to alter the picture. I believe, given time to implement his ideas that Kompany will be a success. Vincent Kompany is leading a Clarets rebuild signing nine new players, with the prospect of more to follow, and has spoken well since arriving at Turf Moor. Burnley are reshaping a squad that was in desperate need of a refresh, although stalwarts and key players have departed following relegation. It’s been a summer of change with Vincent Kompany in the hot seat after being appointed in June. We are back! As fans, we need to be patient with it. Been an excellent 35 minutes from the Clarets though. One thing is for certain, with the amount of players coming in, it’s going to take a while for an entire new squad, in an entire new system, to gel and take shape. This is all a bit different isn't it?

While Burnley have also had a churn of players over the summer, they still retain some EPL quality in their ranks and should have enough here to get their first win on the board.

Unfortunately, just one win in their final four games was to cost them their EPL place. 23-13-10 (Championship) But it’s been a tricky summer for the Terriers with two of their star players – Lewis O’Brien and Harry Toffolo Harry – departing for EPL soccer with their Wembley conquerers, Forest.

Mild boos ring out from the Town fans as the whistle sounds. He is fouled but keeps going before being stopped by the second tackle, and the referee brings it back for the initial infraction. It's a decent ball in too, but Ward misjudges the flight and can't connect. Burnley lead by a single goal but should really have more. What does Danny Schofield have up his sleeve for the second half? Anjorin has been excellent closing down and the fans are cheering it every time. Rudoni does well on the left wing but his cross is blocked. Another greeat drive through the middle by Anjorin, who then slips it to Rudoni. The ball goes straight back the other way but it's not the best pass and Anjorin can't control. He's having a really poor game. Here it is then. 61 - Town free kick 90+2 - Town free kick

A lot is going to be made, I heard a lot about the style of play. The players waned in the final stages on a humid night against an unrelenting opposition but, most importantly, managed to hold on. Sensing a shift in dynamic, Schofield, on his managerial debut, made a double substitution by bringing on Jack Rudoni and Tino Anjorin just before the hour mark. Burnley went with a revolutionary approach to their new era with six debutants in the starting lineup. The heat of the battle seemed to get to Kompany early on; the Belgian felt the need to remove his suit jacket with less than four minutes on the clock. The Clarets completed more than 300 passes in the first half, they only achieved such a feat in 90 minutes twice in the entirety of last season to show the early impact of their new manager.
